Look at them now.

That's not why they're winning, but it's a byproduct of that kind of environment of everyone in it together.

So I think that's...

That's the challenge.

That was the frustration for Berube, for the players, for fans of this team, that it wasn't instinctive.

Even if it's not instinctive in the individual, which I get because it wasn't instinctive in me.

They're like, William Nylander, it's not instinctive to fight.

But there is an instinctive element of we're in it together.

So I got to take myself out of my comfort zone.

And I know I will not be left alone.

I will not get put in a bad situation when it comes to a melee, because we're all meleeing it together, including Joseph Wall coming down if he has to.

We're all in it together always, and then you're sort of not at risk to the same degree.

It just isn't instinctive with that group of players.

Not a ton in the moment because Gutis got off the ice, obviously, so the main culprit was gone.

And they went to a power play and they scored a couple goals.

So, you know, the tension was immediately turned away from the fallout of that hit and sort of being back into the game and scoring goals in the power play.

But as I was saying, maybe on the broadcast, maybe offline, especially in that moment, guys.

where it doesn't matter if they win the game.

It doesn't matter about the power play.

If that's game seven, I might excuse them, like, listen, we'll take the power play, we'll get them later.
